Graduated classical musicians in Serbia and the music market

Abstract

This research aims to highlight the problems faced by students after completing their education, master's and bachelor's, in the field of classical music in Serbia. As one of those students, I had the opportunity to experience various challenges and difficulties my colleagues face in finding employment and institutions for work. The goal is, in addition to presenting the problem, to explore the root of the problem in-depth and present potential solutions that can be left as open fields for further research and improvement of the current industry in Serbia.

The research will provide a comprehensive overview of general education in the field of classical music from early childhood to the end of studies, whether and how much things have changed in the field of education. One of the crucial parts will present how educational institutions are improving and participating in the preparation of student's future careers. The primary focus will involve interviewing and collecting data from my colleagues and professor. Also, one of the more important parts of this project will be showing the music market in Serbia and how the music market is developing and changing, and whether it provides enough options for graduate students. This research will be able to show more realistically what the options are, what is changing and what are the criticisms of the educational system.

Additionally, research represents the music market after music education in Serbia, the working style, and the problems of the southeastern part of Europe. Although it is located on the European continent, I believe that the knowledge about the mentioned problems in Serbia in the academic community of Europe is small. This is one of the inspirations for this research, which will not only show problems and potential solutions but also open a new chapter on creating solutions for countries with similar systems and principles.
